I've recently started building plastic a/c models after a 20 yr hiatus. I'm taking model painting to its next step, airbrushing. What are the best compressor and airbrush for painting 1/48 and 1/72 scale a/c? I'm looking at spending $150 US max....about.... I almost bought the Tamiya compressor kit until i found out that it is battery powered which you have to purchase, and the finest attainable spray pattern is 2 mm. Now I'm evaluating the Testors "blue ice" airbrushing system. Please someone come straight out and tell me what to purchase. Steer me in the right path so I can get right to painting German WWII small size camo patterns and yet still have the capability to paint the whole a/c one color. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated
